Bead Soup Reveal!

5/12/2014

So, remember back in March, when I showed you the contents of the Box of Awesome that Cece Cormier, The Beading Yogini, sent me?  I've been waiting ever since to show you what happened with those beads!

I *literally* cranked out a couple of sparkly bits the day it all arrived...  Cece's own handmade lampwork was too much to resist!  I put the glass together with findings and bead caps from the soup, and one of the gorgeous focals she sent....a lovely terra-cotta feather by Birgitta Lejonklou.  (AngelWhisperer on Etsy).   I'm definitely going to be adding more of her ceramic pieces to my work!
These two beauties are not only remaining in my personal collection, they've been worn almost daily since I made them!

I felt like I really needed to create at least one smashing statement necklace, and I wanted to step away from my usual vocabulary and play with some of the textiles my partner had included in my package...

Believe it or not, everything in that necklace except for the little blue sea star beads came out of my soup!  

But wait.... there's MORE.
With some of the bits and bobs and oddments, I put together a few pair of earrings.  The dragonfly wings captivated me, and I think that I'll be restocking them when I finally run out!

There are still some amazing pieces left for me to play with (two huge chinese lock pendants...perfect for my other life as a tribal belly dancer!).... this really was the the gift that kept on giving.
Thanks again Cece!  

You should definitely pop over to The Beading Yogini and have a look at what Cece did with the soup I sent her...I'm blown away!
